Yes, They cycled power. Initial startup shows no faults, but the robot faults (with either 10014, or 20012) when they attempt to jog the robot.

I have a customer with an ABB IRB1400 with a M94A controller. They used to get the error 33106 “Drive offset exceeded maximum on channel 3.” They followed the recommendation to replace the drive unit, and error 33106 doesn’t come up anymore.
What does happen, though, is that when they try to jog the robot, they now get the following errors:
• 10014: System Failure State
• 20012: System Failure StateWould this come up because the new board has not been calibrated?
I’ve worked with different robots before, but this is my first time dealing with an ABB robot, so I apologize if this is a “Well, duh” question.
Thanks for your assistance!

Thanks Robo
I can't tell you how old this robot is, but I know the customer purchased it used. It looks like it has been around the block several times.
I'm trying to get them to do some troubleshooting themselves (so I don't have to take a trip on-site). If I get them to swap the board, will it show with a different channel # (does it relate to all the boards in the system), or will it still show channel 3?

Greetings,
I have a customer that has an ABB IRB1400 with a M94A controller. When the unit is turned on, the error 33106 “Drive offset exceeded maximum on channel 3” comes up. I have observed that when the unit is initially turned on, the red LED’s on the three boards in the drive unit rack turn on, and then turn off….even though the error has been announced.
When I remove the plate covering the drive unit rack, I see three boards: 1 power unit board, and 2 drive unit boards. Are the drive boards the same, so that I could swap the boards and see if the fault goes to a different channel?
Thanks in advance!

Greetings,
Since I am the only person in my company with any robotics experience (mainly KUKA and Fuji Yusoki), one of the salesmen thought it would be a no-brainer to sell my services to go to a customer's location (they use a Fanuc robot), make a copy of their existing pattern, and modify it for the new box size that they will be running soon. Trouble is that I've never touched a Fanuc before.
The customer is using a R-J3iB controller, and (from what I understand) is running PalletTool. In KUKA-world (using PalletTech), I would go into the pattern directory, copy the file (giving it a different name), open it in notepad, and make my changes. I haven't been able to find a whole lot of Fanuc documentation out there, so how would I go about doing the same thing in PalletTool?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer.

I have a KR 180 PA that I am installing for a customer. We set the robot up in our shop, and we had no problems. This week, we installed the robot in the customer’s facility, and upon power up, the robot is providing the following errors:
Error# 105 – Transmission Error 1. DSE – RDW
Error# 310 – Drives Disabled (extern)I’m assuming that error 310 is caused by the lack of communication between the DSE & RDC (please correct me if I’m wrong).
When I initially connected the data cable, I noticed that when they disconnected X31, they pulled out the white connector from the field wireable . I took a look at the connections on X31, and they visibly appear OK. I reconnected it to the field wireable, and connected it to the KR 180 PA. The connections with cable X21 on the KC 2 & X31 on the KR 180 PA appear visibly to be OK, but I didn’t have the time to check continuity. Doing a quick search on this site, I saw where someone mentioned the pins on this cable sometime need to be pulled out. I plan on looking at that when I get back to the job site on Tue or Wed. Are there any other things I should be looking for to correct these errors?
Thanks,
